9:th rules and reinforcements

[wormlord666]

After at quick reading of the rules I wonder if the old rule of not arriving from reinforcements T1 is gone? Welcome back GSC Alpha strike? And jormundaggar bug devgauntbombs?

It's in the matched play rules on the leak.

But that only refers to strategic reserves. Unit with own rules to deploy elsewhere are not bound to strategic reserve rules. Som GSC, trygons, flyrants and such can come i t1 or 2,3,4,5 since the tactical reserve rule from a FAQ is gone. Am I right?

The BRB makes it very clear that each 'Reinforcement' unit will deploy and act according to its own rules. So I expect all our current units with reserve options to be rewritten to go with this.

Guys its the same as now for the most part, assuming you play non-open/narrative stuff (so just like 8th). There were additional leaks with eternal war missions from match play section. Link to a pic with a naughty word water mark below, third paragraph down.

Ok I read that. Too bad...

Anyone else think stealers will be ace out of reserve with a swarmlord second move available? Pitty it looks like you cant use opportunistic advance with the hive commander ability anymore. So more of a 9" deploy + 8" move + d6 advance + 2d6 charge. Still about averaging 29" threat range from either board edge!

Fighting in two ranks? Not so much.

Oh wait nvm

I wonder if they will retain or remove the ban on units moving again after coming from the reserve (Warptime/Hive Commander/etc).

No, you specifically cant move them after reserves, just charge.

It should be pretty easy to fight in 3 ranks.

Doesn't Hive Commander get an exception as it is not a 'normal move'? That's the way I understand it.
